Honda Facing Lawsuit Over Edible Soy Wiring Coating

Honda cars with soy-coated electrical wiring attract mice, rabbits and squirrels, who munch on the snacks, but Honda refuses to cover repairs, drivers from three states say in a federal class action. Lead plaintiff Daniel Dobbs, of Wyoming, and car owners from Arizona and Texas sued Honda on Thursday for breach of warranty. They claim that the soy-based coatings in 2012-2015 model year Hondas attract rodents. Greg Delaney, of Arizona, says he took his 2014 CrossTour to the dealer because the wiring was "shredded through."
